Lasers are in-office alternative for children allowing dentists to perform a wide range of dental procedures on children while at the same time reducing the chances of infection, swelling, and discomfort.
This method will fit the children needs especially because it is performed with less use of needles and high-speed hand pieces.
It is also more helpful for children who have “Dentophobia” or “Dental phobia” meaning the fear of dentistry and of receiving dental care.
